Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.
Chapter 80 Chicken Feeding Dispute
Cleaning can be done anytime, but excitement can't be seen all the time. She immediately threw the rag into the basin and went out to watch the excitement. Xiao Ran saw Zhou Chuan go out and followed him out.
At this moment, two soldiers were standing at the door of Li Dazui's house. One was tall and thin, and the other was short and fat. Zhou Chuan had seen the tall and thin one before. He was the soldier in charge of the breeding farm in the cooking squad. They were arguing fiercely with Li Dazui.
"Didn't I already pay for the chicken feed? Why did you bring my chickens back?" Li Dazui was furious as he looked at the chickens running around the yard.
The short, stout soldier seemed to be angered by Li Dazui, and his voice became much louder: "We agreed that we would help raise your chickens until you finished your postpartum period. Now your child is almost two months old, and you're still raising these chickens in our farm. How can you be so shameless?"
Li Dazui was still feeling the pinch from the money he'd spent last time, so he wouldn't let it go: "I already paid for them, I didn't ask you to raise them for free. What's the harm in you raising them? Take these chickens back with you right now."
The tall, thin soldier was furious: "How dare you say that? Two dollars in total, not even enough to feed ten chickens for a month! You wouldn't have given us that much if we hadn't insisted!" Thinking of the humiliation he'd suffered over the past few months, he was seething with anger.
"We've only kept quiet because of Deputy Regiment Commander Ding. But you, now that the hen can lay eggs, you touch its rear end at the same time every day. If you collect one less egg one day, you throw a tantrum and say we stole your eggs. I... I've been fed up with you for a long time!"
The short, stout soldier was probably a bit more "broad-minded" than the tall, thin soldier: "The eggs are fine, we're just cooks, we can't really do anything to you. The problem is you sold the chicken, causing us to get scolded by the commander... You, you're not fair, don't drag us down with you, we finally got to be soldiers..."
The tall, thin man looked younger than the short, stout soldier. His eyes reddened as he recalled being scolded by his superior.
Zhou Chuan listened from the side and began to understand what was going on; it turned out she was also involved.
Sister Li wasn't stupid; she realized it wasn't that the cookhouse wouldn't support her anymore, but that the higher-ups wouldn't let her. Seeing that even the soldiers were crying because of her, she quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying a few words:
"I didn't need these chickens because I had enough breast milk. Your leader is really something, it's just a side thing, why make such a fuss! Alright, alright, I'll raise them myself. It's just a few chickens, I'm the best at raising chickens."
The tall, thin soldier was furious at her appearance, but the short, fat soldier held him back. The short, fat soldier was also angry, but what could he do? They couldn't afford to offend any of the people in the family compound.
After watching the commotion, Zhou Chuan was about to go back when he saw the two soldiers stop in front of the Xiao family's courtyard.
"We've been ordered to bring you chicken feed!"
Zhou Chuan looked at the not-so-small bag of chicken feed that Gao Shoubing was carrying, and before he could say anything, he heard Li Dazui from next door scream, "You, why are you sending chicken feed to her house but not mine?"
The short, stout soldier seemed rather lazy to bother with her, and coldly replied, "This was approved by Commander Yang; we were just following orders!"
He had the tall, thin soldier put the bag at the door, and the two of them left together.
Without the cooks, Li Dazui turned his anger towards Zhou Chuan: "What's going on? Why did they give your family chicken feed but not mine? Are you related to Commander Yang?"
Zhou Chuan first opened the cloth bag and looked inside. He found that it was full of half-empty and completely shriveled millet, so he immediately grabbed a handful and scattered it to the chickens.
Li Dazui looked at the millet that Zhou Chuan had scattered, his eyes almost bloodshot with jealousy: "Sister, that's not right of you. You're related to Commander Yang, why didn't you tell me?"
"What relatives? What relatives? If I could claim kinship with Commander Yang, would that son of a bitch surnamed Sun have dumped me?" Zhou Chuan told Xiao Ran to take the chicken feed back inside, then stood in the yard continuing to talk to Li Dazui, "It's not what you think at all. It's like this..."
After Zhou Chuan explained the whole story, Li Dazui completely forgot about what had just happened. Chickens and chicken feed? Nothing was more important than gossip! She suddenly realized and slapped her thigh.
"Oh, so that's what happened. I knew something must have happened this morning. I was weeding in the yard when I saw your Xiao Ran running out and in and out again. Then there was Political Commissar Ma and the Division Commander... So that's what happened. I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't told me. How could such a young child know to run away from home?"
Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes at her: "Isn't this all your fault? If you hadn't spoken ill of Teacher Qiao, would I have been forced to stay by Teacher Qiao? The child is also pitiful. His biological father is not around, and he can't rely on you neighbors. If I really left, he would have trouble even eating. That's why he suddenly couldn't think straight."
Li Dazui thought about the cause and effect, and realized that she had really caused this trouble. She quickly picked two persimmons and stuffed them into Zhou Chuan's hand: "Hey, little sister, I didn't mean it. Who would have thought that Teacher Qiao would be so petty?"
Zhou Chuan kept one for himself and handed the other to Xiao Ran. Chewing on the sweet and sour tomato, he glanced casually at the chickens running around in the neighboring yard.
"What I just heard was that you only paid two yuan to have chickens raised for almost half a year? A chick costs at most one cent, the feed is negligible, the hens can lay eggs when they grow up, and you can sell them when you can't raise them anymore. You must be making ten or twenty yuan from this transaction!" Zhou Chuan was full of admiration and gave Li Dazui a thumbs up. "Sister, you really are something else."
Li Dazui waved his hand slightly awkwardly: "No, no, how could I? I didn't earn that much. The hen has only been laying eggs for a short time, so it doesn't make any money!"
"Alright, stop being modest. You made seven yuan just from me. After deducting the cost of five chickens, you must have made six yuan on the side," Zhou Chuan said, counting on his fingers as he did the math for her. After finishing, he sighed with admiration.
"You're both from the countryside, how come there's such a big difference? If I were working as a nanny, I'd get nitpicked and criticized every few days, but you, as a military officer's wife, not only have it all, but you can also earn money just by sitting at home... Tsk tsk... It's true that different people have different fates..."
Li Dazui was embarrassed by the praise: "Don't say that, your good days are yet to come." She turned her head and glanced at the chickens in the yard, her eyes darting around, "Hey girl, are you still buying chickens? I can give you a discount."
Zhou Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "We only killed two chickens two days ago, that's enough. If we eat chicken every day, won't people talk about us?"
Thinking that she hadn't sold a single chicken in the past two days, Li Dazui saw Zhou Chuan as her lifeline: "Don't worry, no one dares to interfere with Commander Xiao's family affairs. Just focus on eating chicken. Girl, I know you're a good person. Look how thin your Xiao Ran is. He must have suffered a lot when he was young. He needs to get better now so he can join the army when he grows up."
Seeing that Zhou Chuan was still hesitating, Li Dazui persuaded her again, "Girl, with our relationship, I'll give you the lowest price, six yuan fifty for five chickens, you can take them all, how about it? You won't find this price anywhere else. Didn't that guy just give you some chicken feed? If you can't finish it, you can raise them for a couple more days."
Zhou Chuan shook his head: "The remaining five chickens are the ones that were left over from last time. How dare you ask for so much money?"
Li Dazui grabbed Zhou Chuan's arm: "Stop shaking your head! Six yuan and fifty cents won't do, how about six yuan? We're such good friends, I won't take your money!"
After some haggling, Zhou Chuan finally bought the remaining five chickens and thirty eggs from Li Dazui for five yuan and eighty cents. The eggs were a spare part, and they wouldn't keep well in the hot summer. Li Dazui thought about it and agreed.
These five chickens need to be eaten quickly, otherwise Political Commissar Ma will definitely come looking for her again, because the army doesn't allow family compounds to keep too many chickens.
That afternoon, Zhou Chuan killed a chicken. This time, she paid for the chicken, so she didn't hold back anymore. She and Xiao Ran ate until their mouths were full of oil, and finished the whole thing in one meal. Then, a day later, she killed another chicken, and another day later, she killed yet another chicken.
Every day, the aroma of stewed chicken wafted through the residential compound. With the addition of the two chickens from before, the children in the compound were unhappy and caused a huge commotion at home. Zhou Chuan could hear the children's commotion even through many walls.
